Oscillating through oxygen phasesIn their work, Thomas Lunkenbein, Luis Sandoval-Diaz and colleagues study the dry reforming of methane on a nickel catalyst with in situ techniques, which reveal oscillatory kinetics through atomic surface oxygen, subsurface oxygen and bulk nickel oxide phases, with markedly different catalytic properties.

Reconstructing copperIn their work, Raffaella Buonsanti and colleagues investigate the mechanism of reconstruction of copper CO2 reduction electrocatalysts. Spectroscopic methods support a dissolution-redeposition mechanism involving solution-based Cu(I) species which are further elucidated as copper carbonyl and oxalate complexes using density functional theory.
